The “Reptiles” are having a great season, although it seemed that after the championship the team would lose ground a little. The wards of Nick Ners benefited from the break, because they began to act more steadily. In the first round of the playoffs, Toronto started better than expected as they beat Brooklyn (134-110). Of course, the rival’s problems played a key role in this series, as the Nets simply entered the floor with the second line-up. The Canadian club won all three of the following matches and advanced to the NBA quarter-finals. Now the Raptors are facing a more serious confrontation, because their rival was the uncompromising Boston, who also advanced easily to the second round.
Liverpool have had a great season in the Premier League. It didn’t work out in European competition, but the long-awaited England Championship trophy sweetened all failures. The Merseysides have scored 99 points, losing only three matches in the tournament. This is an incredible result. In the offseason, it became clear that the Reds remained in shape. They played two games, beating Stuttgart 3-0 and drawing 2-2 against Salzburg. Liverpool closed last month with two victories: over Chelsea 5-3 and Newcastle 1-3. By the way, before that, guests lost to Arsenal in the in-person meeting of the Premier League with a score of 2:1. Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson will not play in this meeting due to health problems.
